I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

So, what are Matcaps?
MatCaps are, in brief, enhanced materials. It would have taken a lot of node work to obtain e.g. a procedural car paint. And I think it's a major step forward for Blender.
Matcaps have always been in Blender. And they are in fact, simplified materials with "fake" lighting and speculars, not really enhanced.
Cycles Caustics need overview .its so weak (
Thank you very much for the clear response
I see no links to any "new" matcaps... what am I missing?
